ShopA puzzling journey
This week I had to travel from Newcastle upon Tyne to Aberystwyth on Tuesday and make the return journey the following day. The two trips totalled over 12 hours (I was thinking I could have flown from Newcastle to Faro, Portugal and back twice in that time!). So you can imagine how grateful I was to have my copy of BIG with me. It kept me fully occupied on the journey without distracting me enough to forget to change trains at Birmingham!I love the Starhunts especially but would appreciate more prize cryptic crosswords.
Kind regards

I’ve also had the experience of a long train journey recently, although not as long as your trip, and there’s nothing worse than having no mental distraction to while away the hours. I’m glad you found our puzzles helped to pass the time.
The cryptics are certainly becoming more popular, which is why we are hoping to launch a regular Cryptic magazine in the new year, which will probably have at least one competition cryptic. We will be making the decision this week and I will put your request forward to further the cause!
Thanks for your feedback, we use our puzzlers’ opinions to make changes and shape future developments. Good luck with any more of those long train journeys!
Happy Puzzling!
